A sore throat is not necessarily a symptom of novel coronavirus pneumonia. A small percentage of patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia do have a sore throat, with fever, cough, and malaise as the main symptoms, along with nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, and diarrhea. The novel coronavirus invades a person’s respiratory tract, so a sore throat is a respiratory symptom, and this is when one should be alert. The symptoms of a sore throat can also occur with the common cold, so it depends on the clinical manifestations that appear subsequently. The general symptoms of the common cold are mild and can be cured in 5-7 days, while the new coronavirus pneumonia may show respiratory distress and hypoxemia in about 1 week, and the clinical symptoms are heavier than those of the common cold, and there will be weakness. Once the symptoms of fever appear, you should immediately go to the fever clinic of the hospital in your district.
